Conquering Fear

These messages on conquering fear were delivered by Pastor David at Macedonia from January to April 2024. Fear is a natural emotion that we all have and sometimes struggle with, but fear left unchecked can create torment and bondage in our lives. We consider together the ways in which fear might be expressed in our lives, and also the remedies and weapons the Lord has given us to conquer the spirit of fear.

Conquering Fear Through Prayer

In a summary message on how we can conquer fear, we consider what should be our first response when fear creeps in, which is to pray unto Jesus Christ. When we are overwhelmed and consumed with the fears of this world, let’s cast our cares upon Christ and take up his easy yoke and light burden and the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard our minds from fear.

I Once Was Blind, But Now I See

Jesus Christ chose to heal a blind man who had been blind from birth in John 9. We see the beautiful example of the testimony of this man – I once was blind, but now I see. We all have a testimony similar to this man – this is who I was, this is who I am, and the only difference is Jesus Christ who changed my life. Let’s be bold to share that testimony of Christ’s change in our lives in healing us from our blindness.

Conquering Fear Through Faith

Even when we walk by faith, there are always seeds of doubt that remain in our minds. The real challenge is what do we do with that doubt? If doubt is allowed to grow, doubt will create fear, and fear will diminish our faith, leading to little faith or maybe even no faith in our walk of discipleship. What is the remedy for fear? To simply trust God, believe God’s word and his promises, and to walk by faith.

A Sound Mind

Arguably Satan’s greatest battleground is our mind, to blind and deceive our minds and lead us to fear. Therefore, we have to display self-control over our thoughts to not let Satan deceive our minds that leads us to sin in our actions. Instead of us being captive to our fleshly minds, we must bring our thoughts into captivity unto the obedience of Christ.

Abraham’s Joy in Christ’s Day

Jesus Christ points the scoffing Jews back to their supposed father, Abraham, who saw the day of Christ and rejoiced in it. In a special way, Abraham was able to see a prefigure of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, upon Mount Moriah as the ram took the place of his son, Isaac, on the alter. In a similar way to Abraham and Moses, we can see Jesus Christ by faith in our lives today as well.

Who Is He That Condemneth?

All of God’s children struggle with the warfare between the flesh and the Spirit that we have described to us in depth in Romans 7. Many days we feel like we are losing the daily battles in that warfare and might be prone to feel condemned. God gives us beautiful truths in Romans 8 that we should reach the same conclusion in our conscience as the Lord – that there is no condemnation to those that are in Jesus Christ.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

Jesus Christ is the perfect expression of love, and our greatest remedy to conquer fear is likely the perfect love of Christ that drives out fear. If we are in the torment of fear, we are not made perfect in love. We need to strive to obey better the greatest commandment to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. If we are fearful, we need to pray for others and help others to show love to others and thus show greater love to Jesus Christ.

The Power of Christ

We many times don’t understand or forget the true power that resides inside of every child of God. The power of Christ resides in our soul, Christ in you the hope of glory. The perfect faith and perfect love of Christ resides inside of us, and our calling is to work out that perfect faith that God has worked in our soul in the new birth. Our challenge is to get ourselves out of the way and allow the power of Christ to shine through our weakness.

Hearing of God’s Words

Who has the capacity and ability to hear God’s words? Jesus answers this question definitively for us in John 8 – only those who are “of God” hear God’s words. We do not have the ability to just choose to hear the words of God to be born again. Rather, those who hear God’s words are evidence that they have already been born again, that they are already “of God”.
